Week Beginning 24th June 2019 - Christopher Short, DCIS Principal

Dear DCIS Parents,

It is hard to believe that we have reached the last week of this academic year, with only a few days left of term!

I would like to start with congratulating Ms Hooper and her cast for an absolutely fantastic production. I have seen quite a few school productions over the years and I must say that the DCIS version of Arabian Nights definitely was one of the best. A big thank you to the parents who helped with the costumes.

We welcomed our Global Campus expedition team back from Switzerland last Wednesday. They all had an amazing experience and you could tell that the mountain air did them the world of good.

Last week’s Primary Parent Teacher Conferences were very successful, thank you to all parents for your continued support.

The weather was kinder to Year 9 last week and the students thoroughly enjoyed their inter-house water polo competition. Congratulations to Jurong, Year 9 winners.

We have just received the fantastic news from Nord Anglia Education that Reyna in Year 7 has received a highly commended award for the Global Campus Visual Arts Competition. Her artwork was in the top 10 for her age category of all the entrants. Her work will be displayed at the UN this summer when the NAE students are at the UNICEF summit. Congratulations to Reyna!

The DCA have started collecting used, in good condition, uniforms. Boxes can be found in the foyer, outside the main library. The second hand uniform sale will take place on Thursday, 3:00-4:30pm, in Cooper Hall. Ten Feet Tall will be collecting used shoes on Wednesday and Thursday, their collection box can also be found in the foyer. The charity Kimbia Na Afrika (Run with Africa) will also collect GOOD USED running shoes and donate them to under privileged schools in Kenya. The running shoes need to be for men’s and women’s adult sizes, as they will be donated to secondary school children.

We look forward to seeing all returning students in August. Please note that Primary, Years 11, 12 and 13 start on Monday 19th August, Years 9 and 10 on Tuesday 20th August and Years 7 and 8 on Wednesday 21st August.

Have a great last week of term.
